The Open Balkan Wine Trophy has become a respected platform for promoting the region’s finest wines. The judges evaluate wines according to the systems and standards applied at the world’s leading competitions.
The aim of the Trophy is to give due recognition to the continuous rise in standards, quality and winemaking excellence brought by wineries from Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania. More than 1,600 wines from Serbia, North Macedonia and Albania have taken part in the Open Balkan Wine Trophy to date. Awards are presented in nine wine-style categories: white, red, sparkling, fortified, orange, sweet and rosé wines, with special awards for the best white and red wines made from indigenous Balkan varieties.
The Open Balkan Wine Trophy judging panel comprises renowned international professionals, including seven esteemed Masters of Wine. Evaluating entries under the highest global competition standards, the jury is presided over by Caroline Gilby MW, a leading authority on Balkan and Southeast European wines. Driven by this unparalleled credibility and surging interest, we remain committed to elevating the event and showcasing world-class wines in the years to come.
